Ahajiah got to the throne at the age of 22. He reigned for one year in
Jerusalem. His mother was Alhajiah, daughter of Omri, king of Israel. He was
also son in-law of Ahab’s family and he followed the example of the wicked
family by doing evil. He joined Joram son of Ahab and king of Israel to fight
against the Syrians. Joram was wounded and Jehoroam went to visit him in Jezriel
where he was convalescing, Jehu attacked both of them and Ahaziah was wounded.
He fled to Megiddo and died there.
LESSONS
1) Leaders are not to associate with the enemies
of God so that they will not be partakers of their sins and the repercussions. Ahaziah
died because of his associations with Joram and Ahab’s family.
